Re: Minor Emancipation/living with friends
No you cannot just up and leave. You must move for emancipation in Family court. Moveover, unless these friends are very very upstanding, the move will be forbidden as not being in your best interest.
BTW before you do this, check on the consequense of being declared an emancipated minor. Your parents are off the hook entirely for almost all costs related to you.
THink before you act. This is a big decision.
Good Luck.
